American impresario Fred Astaire: "I'm an oppressor."
"Aren't you ashamed?"
"Speaking as one oppressor to another, it's the best place to be!"--Silk Stockings
Dreamed of watching ventriloquist Edgar Bergen with Charlie McCarthy; noticing that Bergen's lips were moving; telling Father about an actual report on China's railway to Tibet (which I'd read on the online Guardian the evening before).
The parents went on a short trip to New Brunswick.
Picked up some Menomonee Falls Guardian issues I'd won on Ebay, at Dragon Lady.
Dinner was fettucine in pesto sauce (which I cooked).
Saw the DVD of Silk Stockings, Rouben Mamoulian's movie of Cole Porter's musical of Ninotchka. Since this was a 1950s Hollywood movie dealing with the Soviet Union, there were plenty of insensitive Cold War cheap shots. Some nice dance numbers, especially "All of You."
Finished The House of the Seven Gables.
